Will this timer operate with low pressure/gravity fed water sources?

ask orbit my system is about 50 psi and i think it needs the source pressure to operate the valve

It uses a standard Orbit valve body and diaphram.. the only difference is the solenoid is not 24v AC.

If your water heater plugs into an outlet, a regular timer will work fine. Most water heaters, however, are 220 volt lines on a dedicated circuit, thus you need something more like the WH21. Here's a good reference for you:http://michaelbluejay.com/electricity/waterheatertimer.html

yes. it has 3 options: low heat, medium heat, and full power (low + medium on), and a mechanical thermostat. so, if you put it on a timer when turned on, it should work. one important thing to watch out for, though- heaters use a lot of power, so you'd want a timer that can handle that kind of service load. i think most timers are designed for lights and other low power loads.

Joseph... the answer is NO! The timer can be set to start and stop "once" OR "twice" a day. The amount of time you want the water to run during the ONE or TWO sessions can be broke down to hours and minutes.

Depends on how long you set the timer. It will continously produce a good amount of steam based upon the time you set.

It is always closed until the timer/actuator voltage is supplied. I have an Orbit solar-powered timer as my actuator (4 station) with a battery backup of 2 AA batteries. On my timer, you can plug 4 of these in and program the cycles individually. Only a single water outlet is needed (with a splitter) for all 4 stations as long as you have 25+ PSI water pressure. They are activated consecutively (not concurrently) so your only limit is based on the individual timer itself. I don't know if the plug is universal but it does work with Orbit timers.Pat Marshburn

Nathaniel Allen already fielded your question in his fine review of the product. Quick answer...no, it's a mechanical water timer. You'll need to step up to one of the battery-powdered digital devices sold on Amazon.

I would say "yes". This timer is low voltage and can handle up to 120 watts.

This unit should work on a gravity system as it shouldn't need a minimum flow like a tankless water heater does.

You will need to plug it in to a timer if you want it on a schedule. Without a timer, this regulator is either on or off. You can adjust the flow rate, but that is all.

Yes this will work, BUT you would need a 12v DC power supply to run the timer.

There is no timer built into the unit. I have mine wired to run whenever the main water pump runs. Its wired through the same pressure switch that turns on the pump.

Yes. I have it hooked to my rainwater tank and it just turns on when the drip system goes on and there is demand for water. Okay if it runs dry, too.

NO -- not automatically anyway -- I would recommend a timer switch, that you can turn on for 10 to 30 minutes. If the dehumidistat switch is already installed you could add the timer switch in addition to it...

You wouldn't want to. This timer is to place inline on an electrical circuit for something like a light switch. You would want to use something like this for a water heater: http://www.bulbamerica.com/silver-t300-7-day-digital-heavy-timer-white-color.html?mr:trackingCode=70FBA22C-9F79-E111-8435-001517B1882A&mr;:referralID=NA&mr;:adType=pla&gclid;=CIjy0Jbbv7oCFadFMgodFz8AEg

Great timer and yes it can be set to water on specific days, not sure about attaching to 32ETI.....
